The first mainstream seven-inch Android tablet is due for an update. Though not an official tablet by Google’s standards since it lacks Honeycomb, recording one million units sold in its first two months of availability was no small feat. This year’s seven-inch Galaxy Tab refresh is rumored to include a higher resolution display, faster processor and more RAM. Are you ready for the Galaxy Tab 7 version 2.0?
At the heart of the Galaxy Tab 7 refresh is a high resolution 1280 x 800 resolution display. The improved display will be a considerable bump from the WSVGA 600 x 1024 resolution of the original. The Cortex A8 1 GHz processor will be retired in favor of Samsung’s dual-core 1.2 GHz chip, the same chip found in its the Galaxy S II smartphone. The last confirmed upgrade is the memory which will be increased from 592MB to 1GB RAM.
Not mentioned in today’s leak is whether the Galaxy Tab 7 version 2.0 will ship with Android Honeycomb or whether it’ll remain a Froyo-powered affair like its predecessor. If Samsung hopes to attract prospective buyers of the HTC Flyer, we certainly hope the updated Galaxy Tab 7 ships with the latest build of Android Honeycomb.
